What they are

Captions

Captions is a mobile-first AI video editor aimed at creators who produce talking-head content for social media. It auto-generates captions, removes filler words, corrects eye contact, and can clone your voice for overdubs. The app targets solo creators who want a post-production shortcut, though its desktop feature set is still catching up to its mobile counterpart.

DeepSeek

DeepSeek is a large language model chatbot developed by a Chinese AI lab, available free via web, app, and API. Creators, developers, and researchers use it for writing, coding, summarization, and reasoning tasks. Its R1 reasoning model performs competitively with much more expensive alternatives, making it a credible option for budget-conscious creators. Data is processed on servers based in China, which is a real consideration for sensitive content.
